Hmm, two days in a row of Wesley Britt on the "team decision" list. Anybody have a clue about this? Could mean lots of different things, many of them bad (e.g. disciplinary action, family emergency, etc.)

I don't know but I am damn worried, he better be ready to go or we are in big trouble....

I was more concerned by the length of the report, is anyone healthy? also surprised not to see Colvin on the report, he had a bad game last week, I thought maybe it was because he was banged up.

I am also surprised that Faulk is not on the list..pleasantly happy though!! I can only think that they were being incredibly precautious Sunday when he was injured...as he is obviously close to 100% now.

It was because he was banged up. He didn't look good in the Cincy game either. He's been hurt since the Buffalo game. Hopefully now that he's off the list, he'll play like he did back in weeks 1 and 2.

OMG Brady has problems with his right shoulder? Did anyone not notice this???

I hope so, he usually plays very well in big games.

I have a question: Unless someone is inactive or PUP, is there any reason we should pay any attention at all to the injury report? I mean Brady's been on it for two years, and you know everyone else is playing....why should we as fans even pay attention? I guess if someone leaves then you know that they are actually healthy but BB seems to just leave them on there to confuse the other teams.

Anyone worried about AD {please tell me no...... and set my mind at ease.}

Wasn't he back on the field for the rest of the game against the Browns after taking some time off on the sideline? I think he's fine.

Yes. This is an injury that BB reports every week. The problem is, however, that Belichick hasn't even told himself the exact nature of the injury in the interests of secrecy, so even he doesn't know exactly what it is.

He is probable and it's a guarantee he will play to me.

 

[Mack Herron]

He is probable and it's a guarantee he will play to me.

He is "limited participation." He is not "probable". Those terms are not yet assigned... Friday he will be either "probable" or "questionable."

He's been on it a lot longer than 2 years.

BTW, my take on it is not that BB lies about the injury report. I think he just follows it to the letter of the law without regard for the spirit of the rule.

For instance, let's say that you say you report a sore knee (regardless of how sore), he just puts it down on the report. It doesn't matter that it doesn't stop you from playing but he reports it. I think he also does that for drills. My take has always been that he reports everything and then no one knows how serious anything is. I'm sure Brady has a sore shoulder after a practice and we know that he limits his throws now so .... limited participation.
